AAC Institute Eighth Annual Symposium

April  16 - 17, 2010   • Event Venue:  Sheraton Station Square - Ellwood 1 & 2

In challenging economic times, the funding process for augmentative and alternate communication(AAC) and speech generating devices (SGD) may be even a bigger challenge than ever. Funding practices and policies are increasing denials and appeals. Therefore, alternatives to more traditional SGD funding avenues may need to be found. This year's Symposium is about empowering teams to get the results they expect when seeking AAC funding. Speakers will present the basic evidence related to funding for AAc systems and services. You have tips from AAC manufacturers' funding departments as well as others who have successfully received the AAC systems they selected. Specifics about working through the SGD appeal process and building the case for medical necessity will be presented. Case study examples will be reviewed for everyone's benefit. You'll leave with identified steps for action to make funding change happen.
Group rate available until March 16, 2010. Subject to availability.
